Usually start out in lightroom. Change Profile from default adobe standard. Usually use one I got from Blake Rudis. On with basic tab, hit auto button. Then adjust white/black balance and other sliders till it looks ok. Reduce noise if needed and some sharpening. Rarely ever use tone curve, HSL/color tab. If I do, it is usually to desaturate the blue in the sky. ( I did that on this one) Then I take it into photoshop and do adjustments to the curves and levels, usually on a localized basis. I will do a curves/levels adjustment looking to get one portion of the photo the way I want, applying a black mask and brushing into the part of the photo I want to enhance. Here for example, I used a curves adjustment to darken the image, then only applied it to the bottom portion of the clouds.
Thanks for you question, hope that helps.
